I usually avoid vintage stores because the clothes tend to be overpriced, but I found the prices here very agreeable. An employee greeted me when I walked in, and happily answered my question. The selection of sweaters and coats is plentiful, organized, and of good quality. Of course, one cannot expect clothes in a thrift store to have been laundered or sanitized. I found a lace dress I’d wanted for months, and a fur vest for my mother, which she adores, amongst other pieces. I’ll definitely shop here again during their sales.
I had the best time there! Great deals and really fun staff. Also a decent sized plus size section. Got two vv cute dresses
Was excited to check this store out, but when I entered I was met with a dog barking at me. Some lady let her dog off leash in the store and the employee manning the cash did nothing about it. The dog was barking at everyone and was sniffing and rubbing up against the clothing. Given the employees response, I'm sure this is a regular thing. It made me realize how filthy the clothes in this store probably are. The risk of fleas is high here. Definitely not coming back.
3 stars because they do have cool stuff. I went in on Thursday and 2 employees were working. I walked by them several times and was not acknowledged whatsoever. Not even a greeting. It was unsettling to say the least. I did a round of the entire store despite the awkwardness. Walked out empty handed. Is this “too cool for you” attitude normal at vintage stores?
Nice thrift store with cool heavy metal background music. Went there with my daughter and read pleasantly surprised by the alternative/rock style they focus on. Bonus: I saw some capacitive video discs from the early eighties that failed and became a curious technology from the period.
